This file documents the files for the applications in Beck and
Jackman, Beyond Linearity by Default, forthcoming in the American 
Journal of Political Science.  There are four subdirectories, jacdim 
for the 
Perot vote and overdrafts sections, coal for the cabinet duration section
and war for the democratic peace section, plus intro for the 
introductory material. 

.q files contain S+ code. (Warning: you need to data.restore files,
and move to right place to use. These .q's should be used as a
template rather than a file to be sourced, though they may work if
simply sourced).

.io files contain all the data in portable format, can be input
through a data.restore(xx.io) operation. It is platform independent.

.ps (war) the graphs in postscript form which were referenced in the
text but not included in that text. 

For questions on these files, send email to
nathaniel.bec@nyu.edu. Please note that this work was all done in
S-Plus, the stqndard in 1998. All of the files SHOULD be readable in R
(mutatis mutandis) and all of the programs should work (mas o menos)
in R. Since this is an exact duplicate of the files that were posted
to replication file for the AJPS in 1998, no  attempt has been made to
check what works in R. All worked in S-Plus. If anyone wants to play
with this stuff and has problems, I can try to help, so feel free to
email me.

The file correctly unzips under Mac OSX using the unix command unzip
(tar has some difficutly with this file).
